503971 2006-12-03 11:39:00 Do you have a scanner and a graphics program (like paintshop, or photoshop)? R2x1 (4628)
503972 2006-12-03 18:23:00 Hi Chinadoll
If you have MS Word you can set up the text and add a picture.
Format the picture
Set up both the text and picture in the correct place on the page
(this may take a couple of attempts to get it right).
Then print it onto the card with your printer.

I'm not 100% sure if you can edit the images on the templates

look here (office.microsoft.com)

How is the card going to be outputted, ie is it going to be digital or will you be printing it?

503975 2006-12-03 20:06:00 Or you can just upload your photo to one of the online photo printing places and select Cards.
Plenty of them offer that sort of thing now - along with calendars, tshirts, mugs etc.

503976 2006-12-03 22:10:00 I have a programme called American Greetings by a company called Broderbund. I bought it at a shop yonks ago for about $19.99. If you do a google search maybe you can download it off the internet. It has thousands of cards and you can alter the text to suit and uploading photo's and resizing them to suit is simple. heaton (3697)

Actually the broderbund greeting card maker cd is often at the supermarket or Dick smiths in the $10 software stand, And it has also been included on the cover DVD of some PC Magazines (thats how I got my copy)
